Some students wanted to compare two shopping centres in Miraflores, an area in Lima,
Peru. Larco Avenue is part of the Central Business District (CBD) and Enrique Palacios is an
area of local shops in a residential district.
The students decided to test the following hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: People who use the two shopping centres buy different types of goods.
Hypothesis 2: Shoppers visiting Larco Avenue take longer to get to the shops and go there
more frequently, than those visiting Enrique Palacios.
(a) (i)
First the students had to classify the shops. Use arrows to match the statements in
columns X and Y in the table below which shows examples of classification.
One has been done for you.

Laundry
Convenience shop
Comparison shop
Furniture store

Unoccupied shop
[2]
The students next task was to count the different types of shops located in the two areas.
Their results are shown in Table 1 (Insert).
(ii)
Suggest two reasons why there are unoccupied shops in the two shopping centres.

(d) One student thought that answers to the question: How long did your journey from home
to the shops take? might be affected by the type of transport which people used. The
students then included an extra question (Question 4) in their questionnaire. The results
of Question 4 are shown in Table 5 below.

In studying the two different beaches the students tested the following hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: The pebble beach has a steeper profile than the sandy beach.
Hypothesis 2: The size of beach material gets bigger away from the sea.
(b) To investigate Hypothesis 1 the students used a rope to make a transect line from the
edge of the sea to the top of the beach. They then measured the different angles of
slope. Fig. 12 (Insert) is a diagram which shows their method.
